Architecture-related TechnicalCounsel^SM Consulting Services

Good architecture is the foundation of reliable, robust systems. We have extensive experience both in the design of architectures, as well as the implementation and utilization of existing architectures.

Our extensive experience with diverse computer and operating systems gives us a wealth of insight into how effective utilization of architecture can benefit projects, in both capability and cost.

Our experiences include:

• Real Time Attached Processors

  Have conceptualized, designed, and specified the protocol between the host processor and an attached processor peripheral including synchronization of DMA requests and pipelines between the two systems.

• Applications Programming Interfaces

  Have conceptualized, designed, and specified the architecture of numerous Applications Programming Interfaces (APIs) at levels ranging from user level toolkits to embedded firmware peripherals.

• Communication Libraries

  For a major financial organization, architected a callable Applications Programming Interface (API) with all of the semantics of the OpenVMS $QIO API in a user-mode library, allowing multi-process, controlled access to a shared FIX implementation. This allowed a variety of user programs to process stock transactions without endangering the integrity of the communications link.

• Real Time Monitoring of Radio-Frequencies

  Was the principal architect responsible for the systems-level components of a system to monitor satellite signals in realtime. This involved implementing device drivers to ensure that devices operated properly in a multitasking environment, and ensuring that diverse operator tasks involving multiple IO pathways did not interfere with each other.

• Utilization of Architectures

  Have written several papers on the effective use of architectures to accomplish development, implementation, and business goals.

• Speaking

  Since 1985, our founder, Robert Gezelter, has spoken on systems architecture, protocols, interfaces, data structures, device interface models, device drivers. other related topics both on a national level within the United States and internationally in Canada, the United Kingdom, France, Switzerland, and Turkey.
